The Unnamed Interview Show: The House of Torment

Chris got a chance to get a full behind the scenes tour of the haunted house named the #1 scare attraction in America according to Hauntworld Magazine, The House of Torment. The tour that he got to film included scares, booze, food, schwag, and a full interview with the two guys who made all this happen, Jon Love and Dan McCullough.

Not only have these guys built this huge and scary place every year for a decade or so, but they own Thirteenth Floor Productions which has built award winning scare attractions all over the country. Chris got in-depth with them about how to get started in the Haunted House industry, what’s involved, and what’s the most fun about it. That’s not all, as there’s plenty of spooky behind-the-scenes video and also a bonus audio review of their full House of Torment experience going through as customers by Chris, Herman, Frank and Kyle. Check it out.

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free, by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal”, turned into a full time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you.
